Publisher's Synopsis
Carl Brumback, a Pentecostal author, says, "It has been through the grace of God alone that we have discovered the truth regarding tongues, and crossed the threshold into this marvelous Pentecostal experience." But have Christians throughout the ages been partakers of this "marvelous Pentecostal experience?" The answer to that question seems to depend on whether or not one views the modern tongues movement as Biblical. Obviously, those who have experienced tongues, and wish to defend it historically, see the gift as present in almost every age, and in many individuals and movements. On the other hand, those who question the validity of modern tongues see the phenomenon as being barely present in church history. A Critical Review of the Gift of Tongues in Church History will attempt to determine which of these views is correct.
